While the country battled Covid-19, thousands of Canadians were losing their life to opioid toxicity.
The pandemic interrupted the street drug supply, which launched the country towards the grim record of having the fastest growing overdose mortality rate worldwide.
There were over 6,200 opioid-related deaths in Canada in 2020, which is about 17 deaths per day. Global News’ Jamie Mauracher has more on the efforts to curb the crisis.
